Crafting a Dreamworld of Sound: The TRNTBL Limited Edition Series

Guiding TRNTBL through a symphony of surrealism and strict color palettes, I orchestrated a brand identity that resonated with the analog hearts of music lovers. In blending 3D spaces, modern aesthetics, and illustrative designs, the brand refresh resulted in a cohesive and polished identity, garnering recognition in the world of design curation and driving substantial unit sales.

For those who find solace in the tactile experience of vinyl but crave the convenience of modern technology, TRNTBL offers a harmonious blend of both worlds. The limited edition series, inspired by the HAY colored SONOS speakers, takes listeners on a surreal journey through meticulously crafted recreational spaces. I envisioned these spaces as alternate timelines where beauty and craftsmanship reign supreme, far removed from the rush of mass production.

The project's design elements are a study in contrasts. Gentle blobs framing color swatches of the new editions serve as the graphic cornerstone, while hyper-real 3D renderings transport viewers to aspirational listening rooms. These spaces are more than just settings; they are characters in their own right, each one a love letter to the art of listening. I balanced this dreamy aesthetic with a touch of humanity, incorporating stylized 2D designs that reflect the close-knit team of music aficionados behind TRNTBL.

Navigating the tension between luxury and approachability was no small feat. The Goop-featured wireless turntables, with their high price point, target a niche audience of tech-savvy, nostalgia-loving audiophiles. Yet, the company sought to reflect the real people who pour their passion into each meticulously crafted unit. The result was a cohesive and polished brand identity that spans website design, campaign materials, print collateral, and even user manuals.

The campaign's success was twofold: not only did it drive impressive sales, but it also earned a feature in Design Milk, a testament to the project's innovative approach to branding and design.
